Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:-
Can you give me The Revolutionary War record of Joseph Lox?
Joseph Lox died in Greene Co. Pa. But am not sure when he hired when he enlisted.
He was in the battle of Granton, N.J., wintered at Morristown N.J.; was in the battles of Germantown, Brandywine, and one other battle that the family are not sure of. He served under Gen. Wayne during most of the Rev. War, and after the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, he served under Gen. Wayne during his Indian campaign.
He drew a pension as his grand-

daughter says.
If you can give us any farther information or verify what we already have, his descendants will be glad to pay a reasonable fee if there any charges.
I wrote to Harrisburgh for them and they say that Joseph Fox was on the Muster Rolls from Dauphin County. So far I have not been able to identify the Joseph Fox. He may have lived in Pa. at the time as there was a Peter and Mary (Thomas) Fox (that I think was his wife) located in Berks Co. Pa near where Joseph Fox lived and died.
I also would like any information you could give me of Robert Hamilton who served in the Rev. War.

See neg. slip for this His grandson James M. Hamilton thinks he died in Pa. But is not sure. He was only a very small boy when he died, and can't remember where his father went to the funeral.
I wrote to Harris- burgh and they gave me the name of Robert Hamilton enlisted from Ohio counties. Then there was another Robert Hamilton that served at the age of 14 yrs. from one other counties. I wrote to all of these counties named but only had had reply from two so far.
The Robert Hamilton I am trying to gather Rev. data for married Sarah Brook and three of their sons, James, Aaron, John J., moved from Pa. to Virginia. also Sarah Brook's brother David visited them from Pa. at the age of 96 yrs.

Mr. James M. Hamilton can give the rest of the childrens name and who most married, but that is about all.
They also will be very glad of any Rev. data you maybe able to give them and willing to pay a reasonable fee. I do not make any charges, as I am working for the B. A. R. Chaptr.
Thanking you for any information you maybe able to give me I am

Accompanying this letter I transmit you the declaration of Mrs. Eliza Fox, the widow of a revolutionary soldier asking for a pension.
Mrs. Fox has kept no records of her marriage - and is unable to fix the precise date but knows it was in the month of August 1837. In this state until within the last two years no provision is made by statute for the registration of marriages and deaths -
She was married by a justice of the peace, named Keader, who is now a citizen of Ohio. Mrs. Margaret Lockhart who was the only witness of the marriage except the justice makes affidavit of the fact.
Any questions that may arise in the investigation of the case you can apprise me of -

Sir
Your Communication in relation to the application of Mrs. Fox, widow of Joseph Fox, decd. for a pension has been received.
I trust that a careful examination of the declaration will show that the declaration was made in open Court, as it certainly was. — Saml. A. Gilmore the Pres. Judge of the Court signed it during the Quarterly Session of the Court in March, in presence of the Bar.
I sent the Affidavits of Mrs. Lockhart who was present at the marriage, and Mr. Keader who knew her to the Fox's widow.
The affidavit of the person who married the parties can be procured in the State of Ohio where the Magistrate now lives who married them.
I write to ask a re-examination of the declaration.

to see if your decision that it was not executed in open Court does not prove erroneous. I do this to save Mrs. Fox who is extremely poor the trouble of travelling twenty miles to court a second time -
The other facts can be made out before a justice. Very respectfully Chas. Scott.

P.S. Our Courts meet every three months. - the next session is June 13 th - and then not again for three months. If you are still of opinion from a re-examination that the declaration was not made in open Court I can procure the affidavit of an attorney who attended to executing it and the Clerk of the Court who was present and witnessed the execution of the papers in open Court.

Sir.
Joseph Fox of this County a revy. Pensioner, who died on the 13 th of Decr. 1847, received nothing from the Government, after 4 th of Sept. 1847.
Is the amount accruing from 4 th of Sept. to 13 th of Decr. 1847 payable to his widow? And if so, is the evidence now on file in your upon which she has been granted a pension under the act of Febry 3-1853, sufficient to make out her claim to the balance from 4 th Sept. to 13 th Decr the day of the soldier's death?
By the accompanying letter from the agent for paying pensions at Pittsburgh, Penn a , it appears that Fox's heirs received nothing after his death.

Under the rules and regulations adopted by the Legislature of this state, Eliza Fox, widow of the said Joseph Fox is entitled to pension or gratuity, and the proof of identity with the evidence upon which her husband was pensioned is conclusive as to the claim of the widow.

I received the certified copies of the papers upon which Joseph Fox, formerly a citizen of this County was allowed a revolutionary pension under act of June 7 th 1832.
I observe by these papers that according to the discharge signed by Captain Thomas Robinson, independent of other services he had alleged he performed in the revolutionary army, he served two years under Capt. Robinson.
Would not this service of two years make the act referred to have entitled him to a full pension of $96 pr. annum, and if so, are not his widow or heirs entitled to the excess, viz $16 pr. annum from the 4 th March 1831 to the date of his death, viz, 13 th Decr. 1847? —

James Eels or Reels - She well recollects that the said Lemuel Fox rendered military service before his marriage, and she also recollects that a very few days after his marriage there was an alarm occasioned by a report that the British had landed at New London, in consequence of which the militia turned out and marched to New London the said Lemuel Fox being among them; the Captain's name according to the best of her knowledge & belief was Elizur Hubbard, who was in command of the company in which said Fox marched for New London. She is well satisfied of the fact that said Fox did turn out as aforesaid and after his mar- riage; she was present when the troops mustered and saw & recollects said Fox as one of them & that he went with them. She does not recollect how long the troops were gone. Her own husband Josiah Brooks was also out at the same time, and she therefore recollects the circumstances with more precision. The particulars here stated were not all given in the former affida- vit made by this deponent, as the questions were not asked of her, nor did she know that it was necessary to state them. The name of the Colonel who commanded the Regiment of militia to which Capt. Hubbard belonged has escaped her recollection. The widow of the said Lemuel Fox (being the same Prudence Brooks) removed from Glastonbury after the death of her husband to Erie County Pennsylvania, where she still lives as the deponent has reason to believe and does
